Norco Transport: Driving Efficiency Across Every Load

As Norco Transport scaled, spreadsheets couldn’t keep up. Xeratec helped them move faster with a connected system built for hauling at scale.

ABOUT NORCO TRANSPORT

Founded in 2012 in Greeley, Colorado, Norco Transport began with a small fleet and a big vision: to deliver reliable, customer-focused hauling and logistics solutions across Colorado and neighboring states. Over the years, Norco became a trusted partner in the oil & gas, construction, environmental, and industrial sectors—known for its commitment to quality, safety, and on-time performance.

But as the business grew, so did the complexity. Tracking loads, managing rate structures, and reconciling contractor payments across multiple job sites had become a daily challenge. Spreadsheets and manual processes could no longer keep up.


THE CHALLENGE

Hauling operations are inherently complex—each load can involve different customers, contractors, jobs, materials, and rate types. For Norco, that meant juggling countless Excel sheets and manual data entry to keep up with demand.

Their team faced three persistent challenges:

  1. Load Tracking Chaos – Thousands of loads per month needed accurate tracking by driver, truck, trailer, job, and service type.
  2. Rate Calculation Complexity – Customer rates varied by distance, weight, service type, and even the day of the week. Keeping it all straight in Excel formulas was error-prone and time-consuming.
  3. Manual Invoicing and Payments – Each invoice had to be built and reconciled by hand, delaying billing cycles and cash flow.

While spreadsheets had worked early on, they were now slowing the business down. A single miscalculation could cost thousands—and valuable opportunities were being lost to administrative inefficiency.

SOLUTION

Norco partnered with Xeratec to design and build a custom operations platform tailored to the realities of modern hauling logistics.

The result was the EPIC Logistics — a cloud-based, mobile-friendly system that automated the entire workflow from load import to QuickBooks integration.

Key Capabilities

  • Intelligent Load Management – Import loads directly from customer Excel sheets or portals using configurable templates and smart field mapping.
  • Dynamic Rate Engine – Automatically apply complex rate structures by job, material, trailer type, or service rules—no more broken formulas.
  • Seamless Invoicing & Billing – Generate accounts receivable and contractor settlements instantly, with full QuickBooks Online synchronization.
  • Real-Time Visibility – Dashboards and reports show load volume, driver performance, and billing status at a glance.
  • Secure, Scalable Architecture – Built with NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and Next.js, the platform handles 10,000+ loads per month without performance issues.

TECHNOLOGY STACKS

Xeratec Team,

We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for the custom solution you developed for our back office operations. The entire process was seamless, and we were particularly impressed with how attentively you listened to our needs, offered valuable input, and ultimately stayed focused on building exactly what we wanted. Your dedication was evident every step of the way.

One of the biggest wins for us is the new streamlined workflow for driver tickets. Previously, each ticket was handled three separate times—once to log, once to invoice, and once to pay the vendor, creating three different opportunities for errors. With our new software, we can now import or manually enter tickets, drastically reducing repetitive data entry. Even better, the system flags errors automatically, making our process much more reliable.

Since our first meeting with Xeratec, we knew we were in good hands. Kyler worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommended!

Sincerely,
Eddie Leos, CEO, Norco Transport
